It worked on my Sun Blade 1000 but not on the Sun Blade 2000. The latter
had problems booting from hard disk after the install and often would
reboot the machine with *MMU miss* errors. I was able to install Solaris 10
10/08 for sparc on my sb2000.

I am a developer for a small software company. We support our product on
UltraSPARC. I use a refurbed Blade 1500 for my development work. For me the
important part is 64-bit support. I don't use a graphical desktop at all. I
only ssh into the machine for compiling.

Nevada Build 99 on a singleX7310A ( Blade 2000 Ultrasparc III+ 1200 MHz
) Has enough Graphic
performance on the Gnome Desktop so that you can actually live with it.
SunBlade 1500 ( RED 1.06 Ghz UltraSparc IIIi ) is a lot slower.
Basically its CPU runs flatout

Solaris 10 and later only support
Does anyone else have a large installation of sun4m architecture
machines it would be nice to run something other than Linux/NetBSD on?
SS20, SS5, SS10, various server 4m machines.
How about the old 1000's and 2000 4d archs?
Or is Sun strongly opposed to admitting 32bit SPARC exists/existed? I

E420s are plentiful on ebay. 280Rs to slightly lesser extent. I have several.
;-)
OK they aren't fast etc and are verynoisy (and heavy) - but they are accessible
for a hobbyist.
I'm not bothered about a graphics adaptor.

And of course it is not the CPU alone, the Blade 1000/2000's
System-Interconnect with Crossbar-Switch handles up to 4 GB/s. No other legacy
sun4u ws compares to it.
The io is *amazing*.

Basicly I am on your side.
Those are almost for free on ebay ($10 end price).
They are also very power

Fantastic!
As a developer I'm using an Ultra 10 and a Sun Blade 100, but a desktop
environment is essential for me.

All,
We're beginning work on getting a SPARC version of the OpenSolaris
distro from Sun. This version will target Q1 of CY '09 (hopefully early
Q1).
Although when doing a port much of this code will simply work on a
number of SPARC hardware configs, we're going to make sure we focus on a
